I have a vague recollection that it is a calcium compound, perhaps calcium oxide. When mixed with water, an exothermic reaction occurs to transform the CaO to Ca(OH)2. Unfortunately I am unaware of any
I believe that the most common type of water spots are calcium based, in the form of calcium hydroxide, oxide or carbonate. You will need chemicals to replicate this. The easiest way would be to dissolve
David, I apologize for the late reply. The water spots are the result of the minerals in hard water being left behind after the water evaporates. The minerals vary by location, but are typically calcium
Paul Sorry i took so long to get back to you, but work has been pretty overwhelming lately. What you are describing sounds a lot like a phenomena referred to as current leakage. This occurs in bipolar
I've seen what you are talking about, but don't know what exactly it is off the top of my head. I would try some calcium remover (dilute phosphoric or sulfonic acid) to see if this does anything. It
